Abstract: | In this study, experiments were performed on 4 cylinder turbocharged, intercooled with 62.5 kW gen-set diesel engine by using hydrogen, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and mixture of LPG and hydrogen as secondary fuels. The experiments were performed to measure ignition delay period at different load conditions and various diesel substitutions. The experimental results have been compared with ignition delay correlation laid down by other researchers for diesel and dual fuel diesel engine. It is found that ignition delay equation based on pressure, temperature and oxygen concentration for a dual fuel diesel engine run on diesel-biogas gives variation up to 6.56% and 14.6% from the present experimental results, while ignition delay equation for a pure diesel engine gives 7.55% and 33.3% variation at lower and higher gaseous fuel concentrations, respectively. It is observed that the ignition delay of dual fuel engine depends not only on the type of gaseous fuels and their concentrations but also on charge temperature, pressure and oxygen concentration. |
